As a result he got clear knowledge. So he has been called “thuyya madhi peRRaâ€. His birth day is celebrated and glorified by great men. This signified the seven rishis who are lodged very close to Makam Star. Azhvar was born to a Rishi. Threfore, “naRRavargaL kondAdum nALâ€. This Alwar is very proud about his intellect. He declared ‘en mathikku vinnellam undo vilai’ meaning that all the celestial worlds would not be sufficient to pay as equivalent for his intellect. thuyya madhi peRRa: What is the purity of the mind or what is the essence of knowledge? Azhvar never considered other dieties (anya devatas) like Brahma, Siva, Subramanya etc., for paratvam (supremacy). Note his saying, ‘seer miguththa ninnalalor thaivam nan madik-kilane’ I shall not respect as Lord any other thaivam (god) other than you (Sriman Narayana). ‘ini arin-theyn easark-kum nan-mughark-kum tahivam…..’ . I understand only Narayana as supreme Lord and this fact was emphatically asserted by this Azhvar. piRandha nAL: Thirumzhisai Azhvar declared that he considered himself as born only on the day he realized the true relationship with Narayana. So, according to him, he had two births. Once as Rishi putra and again on acquiring enlightened knowledge by the grace of Lord and by the grace of his mentor Peyalwar..
